Learning to hone is also something that interests me. However, I am still learning to put a great edge on my kitchen cutlery which is a constant reminder of how much practice I still need.

As far as contracting out someone for honing, I am not quite there yet. I am still shopping for that perfect for me blade. But I am glad to hear that we have so many options immediately available to us.

Razorfeld, yes you are quite close indeed. I drive right past you everyday. I would love to pick your brain about a few things honing related. Might as well start now with the learning curve, on a practice blade at least. And get the skill down.
